In Class:

  • We broke in to five groups to match two (per group) translations to Pope's aphorisms found on pages 522 an 523 in the text. Each translation matched one of the ten aphorisms found in the book.
  • On page 523 in the text, question two (#2) asks you to take a deeper look into differernt meanings Pope's ahporisms might possess--answer #2, letters "a" through "g".
There is no homework assignment.
